introduction

Albion Press (Pty) Ltd. of Cape Town are  well known as General Commercial Printers, having specialised since our establishment in 1939, in larger volume printing, of a varied nature.


We are well equipped for the production of forms, books, folders, ruled paper and many specialised items, on a wide variety of papers and in a number of print processes.


We have 6 reel-to-sheet web machines of different widths and cut-offs, different numbers of printing units, with various configurations of tinting, numbering, perforating and punching units. We also run a variety of flat sheet litho and letterpress machines, and complete repro and bindery departments.


We have supplied many Government and parastatal departments, such as the Government Printer, Spoornet, Post Office, Police, Telkom and all Provincial Administrations, for the supply to Education, Hospital, Police, Traffic, Health and other departments on a tender basis, and feel confident that we are competitive, and reliable manufacturers. Having also worked for many municipalities around the country, we know that we have the expertise and the understanding of the requirements of the many different departments in each of these sectors.


We also print for a number of the large retail/Industrial organisations (Woolworths, Pick `n Pay, De Beers, Clicks, Satra, Fidelity Guards) and two of the largest Banks in South Africa, where quality and service as well as price is critical. The factory runs 24-hour shifts, and is therefore able to offer good service and delivery around the country.


We are also supplying to Malawi and Zambia, items of a sensitive nature, where security is a pre-requisite.


Our staff complement is 40, comprising 18 female and 22 males, who, with the exception of 5, are all from the previously disadvantaged community. The majority of our staff have a long association with the company, many with over 20 years, some with 30 years plus.


We are also Calendar manufacturers, represented throughout the country, offering a wide range of designs and pictures, specialising in the requirements of the retail and industrial sectors.
